The idiom "stuck to his guns" means to maintain one's opinion or decision firmly, even when faced with criticism or opposition.Option 1 ("To surrender under pressure and change one's stance") is the opposite of the idiom’s meaning.Option 2 ("To act impulsively without careful thought") does not fit the context, as the phrase implies determination rather than recklessness.Option 3 ("To rely on others for making important decisions") is unrelated to the meaning of the idiom.Thus, Option 4 is the best choice as it accurately conveys the meaning of the idiom.
